    Ingredients for blueberry ice cream with lemon arranged on a marble surface.
    • Heavy cream: The fluffy texture of homemade ice cream comes from whipped heavy cream. It adds air to the ice cream to make it luscious and delicious.
    • Vanilla extract: I love adding pure vanilla to ice cream. Not only does it provide a delightful hint of vanilla, but it also brings out the natural flavors of the other ingredients.
    • Sweetened condensed milk: This is not only a sweetener, but it also helps to stabilize the ice cream so it remains creamy and doesn’t take on an icy texture.
    • Lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice is the best way to get lemon flavor into this recipe. The tartness of the lemon perfectly complements the sweetness of the blueberries.
    • Blueberries: I use fresh blueberries. They add little pops of sweetness throughout the ice cream. Ensure they are ripe and juicy for best results!

    See the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts, nutritional information, and detailed instructions.

    Variations

    • Mixed Berry: Try incorporating other fresh berries like raspberries and blackberries for a mixed berry version.
    • Lavender: Add some dried lavender for a floral flavor that complements the berries and lemon. You can use it as a garnish or steep it in the cream to infuse flavor.
    • Orange: Swap the lemon juice for freshly squeezed orange juice for a fun citrus twist.

    How to Make Lemon Blueberry Ice Cream

    Here are the instructions for this blueberry ice cream with lemon. It’s a simple recipe that consists of mixing the ingredients to get the right consistency, and then letting the mixture firm up in the freezer.

    Heavy cream and vanilla in a glass mixing bowl.

    Step 1: Mix the cream and vanilla. Combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer at high speed to whip the cream until stiff peaks form.

    Condensed milk, lemon juice, and blueberries added to whipped cream mixture in a glass bowl.

    Step 2: Add the remaining ingredients. Add the condensed milk, lemon juice, and blueberries. Gently mix the ingredients at low speed until they are combined.

    Step 3: Transfer and freeze. Pour the ice cream mixture into the loaf pan and top with more fresh blueberries. Cover and place in the freezer for at least 6 hours or until firm.

    Step 4: Serve. Scoop and enjoy!

    ⭐ Hint: As you mix the blueberries into the cream, they may break up a little bit. This is completely normal and helps evenly distribute their flavor and color throughout the ice cream.

    Recipe Tips

    • Storage directions: Store the ice cream tightly covered in the loaf pan in the freezer for up to 2 months.
    • Be gentle with the blueberries: They should break apart slightly rather than be completely squished. Be sure to mix at a low speed or fold them in carefully with a silicone spatula.
    • Use cold heavy cream: For perfectly fluffy whipped cream, make sure your heavy cream is well-chilled straight from the refrigerator.

    Recipe FAQs

    How can I get more lemon flavor?

    Add some lemon zest in addition to the juice. This will give you a more pronounced lemon flavor in the final ice cream.

    Can I use frozen blueberries?

    Sure! I recommend thawing and draining them beforehand to avoid excess moisture, ensuring the ice cream sets properly.

    Why is my blueberry ice cream icy?

    Likely, it wasn’t covered tightly enough. Ensure that the plastic wrap touches the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals.
